After the Isla Vista shooting, the father of one of the victims says he wants to meet with the father of the man accused of killing his son. As NBC 7’s Liberty Zabala explains, this mirrors a similar case in San Diego. (Published Tuesday, May 27, 2014)

“(My son did) not die in vain. Something good came from this tragic event,” Azim said in an interview with NBC 7 in January.

"My wish for the fathers of this tragedy is that they can really learn from it and come together and create some sort of foundation and partnership and realize violence isn't the end, that really that violence can be the beginning," said Jeanne Rawdin, Executive Director of the Tariq Khamisa Foundation.

The foundation said it has helped more than 500,000 kids through its mentorship programs.
